Snapshots of my Running Life

Never Quit 2013 was my second race after having my third baby. Ran the Donna 5K the day before.

My first race at TPC Sawgrass.

Waiting and freezing in the corral. 2014 Wine and Dine.

I am so proud of this top-5% overall finish at the 2014 Wine and Dine

My second race, Creekside High

Working at the 2012 26.2 with Donna Marathon. Surrounded by inspirational people.

My first bib from NQ 2012

My sister and I at the 2014 Disney Princess Half Marathon

2017 WDW Marathon – At ESPN just after I sprained my right ankle. I don’t look injured, right? That was the plan.

Huge smile. Huge finish. 2014 Wine and Dine.

On my way to a PR at the 2014 Corporate Run

Let’s get out there!

I saw this shirt at Animal Kingdom and thought it was perfect.

After running the Donna 5K at The Players, my friend (and an inspiration) Leah and I picked up our packets for the Never Quit 5K for the next day. Hard core!

Tested and did not like.

My first runDisney Wine and Dine in 2014.

2017 WDW Marathon – Finished with a sprained right ankle. I was on pace to finish a 3:50 race, but got injured after mile-19. I feel good about this race because I EARNED it. I finished two minutes faster than my first marathon though!

New Balance’s Minimus Fours are great for those short easy runs and a day at Disney.

I am no means a flexible person, but practicing yoga has helped my ITBS and my body greatly.

2014 Corporate Run. Next time, I’m asking for a performance shirt. It was WAY too hot for cotton.

My babies, March 2013

Yours truly.

Awesome finish at the 2014 Wine and Dine

A magical finish! 2014 Wine and Dine.

For my long runs, I wear my Asics Nimbus 14. You need that support and cushion. These shoes are about to be retired. They have about 120+ road miles.

Right after I was cleared to run after my third baby, I registered for NQ. Great race and awesome energy. “Never quit” is my mantra.

I started out a little too hard and my calves and shins paid the price. Lesson: listen to the experienced ones!
